What's your go-to move? Rock? Paper? Scissors?

Lubbock residents will get the chance to test their rock-paper-scissors skills against each other when Big Al's 2nd Annual Rock Paper Scissors tournament comes to town at noon Saturday, April 19, in the South Plains Mall parking lot.

Sponsored by Big Al Mack, a radio personality with "Kidd Kraddick in the Morning" in Dallas, the event will raise money for the Lubbock and Dallas chapters of Habitat for Humanity.

"This is the first year it's coming to Lubbock," said Marie Hanzam, executive director of Lubbock Habitat.

According to a news release, teams of two to 20 will compete in preliminary tournaments in six locations around the state for the chance to win a grand prize of $500 at the finals in Dallas.

The cost of registration is $100 per team, with 20 percent of proceeds benefiting Lubbock Habitat and 80 percent benefiting Dallas Habitat.

"It started in Dallas, and (Mack) wants to raise funds for Habitat House in Dallas," Hanzam said of the uneven split.

Mark Rogers, a bartender at Big Al's McKinney Avenue Tavern, which will host the finals, said players will use the "shoot!" method during game play - they'll make their throws after calling "Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot!"

The event will feature live music, karaoke, a food truck, drinks, T-shirts and a photo booth.

Local bands are invited to perform, and one band will be chosen to travel to Dallas and perform at the finals.

According to the release, proceeds from the event will fund the development of a new subdivision on North Guava Avenue, which will offer home mortgages for 92 individuals.

Hanzam said the event will also lead into Lubbock's next homeowner workshop from 9 a.m. to noon April 26 at the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center.
